Enter a personal reminiscence or story.
Family stories have Sullivan Robert Ross mortgaging the farm three times. It is believed he spent considerable time playing the pipes and making violins rather than active farming! It is thought that his wife burned much of his piping awards, medals and correspondence following his death.

He wrote about 6 or 7 tunes for the bagpipes. Several professional musicians (eg., Allison Lupton, Steel City Rovers [Mark Fletcher]) in Ontario now play some of his tunes.
